The Euro-Mediterranean region is a prime example of such manifestations and a living laboratory reflecting the role of scholarly communities (our audience in this journal) in those developments. The most obvious change we have witnessed in the year 2020 is a huge re-organisation of how we move, work and socialize. Most of our work, from teaching, researching and scholarly ex- change has shifted to screens and online communication. Travel came to a standstill in the spring wave of the pandemic and has hardly resumed since. The promulgation of the arrival of digital transformation seemed to materialise within weeks, presenting both opportu- nities and challenges for higher education and research, includ- ing in the endeavour to strengthen cooperation in the Euro- Mediterranean area. On the one hand, visiting lectures, webinars and participatory digital events have widened the opportunities for exchange and expanded the collaboration. Indeed, as most events taking place online are free, their accessibility is almost unlimited. In fact, for many of us, these opportunities have out- performed our capacities to follow them. On the other hand, the challenge is that the capacities of pro- fessors and researchers to take part in the digital world differ. As is often the case, the emergent opportunities are widening the Volume 13 | 2020 | Number 2 Jerneja Penca gap in the use of online resources for individuals, institutions and countries, raising concerns of the formation of new form of inequality due to varying internet infrastructure and skill set of the faculty in how to use resources effectively. In addition, schol- ars have come to recognise the limits of a digital contact and its inability to replace the benefits of human presence, face to face discussions and networking. In part, this can be explained by the fact that much of online education or scientific event organi- | 4 | sation and knowledge sharing is still not capitalizing entirely on the opportunities offered by the digital transformation. Yet in part, these limitations serve as reminders of the irreplaceable role of human contact in education and collaboration. We ex- pect a great deal of new knowledge in this area, as important studies are emerging on the impact of online education. Another key change we have witnessed is an enhanced vis- ibility of and indeed, the need for science in public affairs. Scientists have come to the fore, as many governments estab- lished consultative expert groups to provide scientific advice to policy responses related
